Leap Day has some sort of mystical association for geocachers, so there were many events across the country to bring solitary, asocial people together to eat some lunch and talk some caching.
I went to one. It was fun. There was even an amusing ice-breaker game to get people who aren't usually given to talking to others to do so.
Afterwards, the friend I went with and I did some caching ... we found 5, mostly I was the finder, there was one that was part of a series she's doing, and they're all placed similarly, so she found that one straight off. Three out of the five I found were teensy-weensy magnetic nanocaches. I was quite proud of myself for those.
This brings my cache total to 20.
Yay, me.
There was a fellow at the event who has 16K+ caches found. I was appropriately amazed.
Double yay me ... it was pissing down rain the whole time, and I didn't whine, even when I had to slog through mushy ground and puddles. I may have to put my sneakers in the dryer.
I am now at home trying to get warm again. I've had one coffee already, not sure if I will stick with that or switch to hot cider.
